1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of messengers, but do not have love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2 And if I have prophecy, and know all secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all belief, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am none at all.
3 And if I give out all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, I am not profited at all.
4 Love is patient, is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, is not puffed up,
5 does not behave indecently, does not seek its own, is not provoked, reckons not the evil,
6 does not rejoice over the unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth,
